NetWare 4.1/9000 Utilities Reference

3-35
Server Utilities
nwcm
ncp_engines_to_start=nu
mber
Specify the number of NCP engines that run
when the NetWare server starts. Increase the
number if the nxinfo utility reports an
excessive number of packets dropped due to
server busy. Use the nwengine utility to
change the number of engines after the server
is up.
Supported values: 2 to 50
Default: 2
read_ahead_cache=
value
Activate a read-ahead cache buffer. When a
NetWare user opens an executable file, the
file is read into this buffer before receiving
the request to download the file. Clients
using Packet Burst do not use this buffer. If
set to Yes, you may need to adjust the value
of the read_ahead_cache_buffer_size
parameter.
Supported values: Yes, No
Default: Yes
read_ahead_cache_
buffer_size=number
Set the buffer size in bytes of the read-ahead
cache. For optimal performance, the buffer
size should be set to a multiple of the block
size of the HP-UX file system. Changing the
parameter may require a change in the size of
shared memory.
Supported values: 4096 to 32768
Default: 8192
